Jakarta (B2B) - Pemerintah berencana melakukan operasi pasar daging sapi pada Juni mendatang, untuk menyambut bulan Ramadan dan Lebaran. Tujuannya, untuk menekan harga daging sapi yang saat ini di kisaran Rp90 ribu per kg hingga Rp100 ribu per kg menjadi Rp78 ribu per kg.
Menteri Pertanian Suswono mengatakan operasi pasar daging sapi digelar untuk mengantisipasi harga menjelang bulan Ramadan dan Lebaran, melalui mekanisme distribusi dan penjualan yang wajar sehingga harganya dapat turun dengan sendirinya.
"Penurunan harga akan dilakukan secara wajar tanpa merugikan kepentingan peternak lokal," kata Suswono kepada pers di Jakarta, belum lama ini.
Menurutnya, harga daging sapi saat ini masih tergolong mahal lantaran tata niaga daging sapi masih panjang dan distribusi sapi dari sentra ternak ke kawasan konsumen terkendala kemudahan transportasi.
Kementerian Pertanian, kata Suswono, akan bekerja sama dengan Kementerian Perhubungan agar ada fasilitas perhubungan untuk memudahkan jalur distribusi hewan ternak yang memenuhi standar ´animal welfare´.
"Kita sekarang memikirkan bagaimana memudahkan distribusi dari Nusa Tenggara Timur dan Nusa Tenggara Barat ke kawasan konsumen seperti di Jakarta dan sekitarnya," ungkap Mentan.
